Dr Seuss Beginner Book Inspired Fish {Kid Craft}

Hi my crafty readers! I’m super excited to be sharing another kid friendly craft that goes along with one of my favorite childhood books. Today’s blog post is titled Dr Seuss Fish Kid Craft and it goes perfectly along with the Dr Seuss Beginner Book – Fish Out of Water by Helen Palmer.

Not only is this a great book to read with children, but the craft I’m sharing today is tons of fun so it really pulls everything together. Recently our afternoon “rapidly” grew when we read the book, did the craft and finished it off with some yummy goldfish snacks. It was a fish-tastic afternoon and I’m thinking about doing it again soon!

So what are you waiting for? This paper plate fish craft is super easy, fun for all ages and inexpensive too! Follow my step-by-step tutorial below and let the fun begin! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Fish Craft Supplies:

Directions:

* First cut your orange tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue all over it. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out the fish facial & body features from the cardstock. Think eyes, mouth, fins etc {be sure to reference the book if you need help}
* To finish off the paper plate fish kid craft – staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate. Then display proudly! {or add other embellishments to really make it your own!}
